Warn / strip global regEx schemas?

Type checks in simple-schema-validation.js line 18 and 23 use RegExp.prototype.test. If you run the code below:

let r = /abc123/g
console.log(r.test("abc123")) // true
console.log(r.test("abc123")) // false
console.log(r.test("abc123")) // true
console.log(r.test("abc123")) // false
console.log(r.test("abc123")) // true
console.log(r.test("abc123")) // false

You can see that if you pass in a global regex to the schema, validation can alternate between true and false because javascript's global regexs are stateful

The Meteor SimpleSchema package is no longer maintained other than critical fixes to keep it running with each latest Meteor release. Closing non-critical issues in this repo. Anyone who cares about this may do one or more of the following:

• Switch to the NPM package. Be sure to adjust for the breaking changes. There can be a lot of work involved in switching, but it is worth the effort.
• If this issue still occurs in the NPM package, submit an issue there. Be sure to include a link to a reproduction repo or a PR that adds a failing test for the issue.
• If you have more time than money, submit a pull request to resolve any issue labeled "help wanted" in the NPM package repo.
• If you have more money than time, donate to help support development if you are able
